That translation makes me cringe.

"The hospital said the 13-time Monday that 15-year-old is operated and hospitalized for treatment."

This is what English from the 30th century will sound like.  Does "bad asker" modify "Whale Beach" or "Saturday"? : /

Sympathy for the young woman, however. :(

You gotta hand it to Google translator. Even if the details aren't correct, knowing the gist of a story can be very handy.

Poor girl. You hear stuff like this one in a while from giant tug of war games. Guy wraps the rope around his arm and gets it ripped off.

"Hvalstrand Bad" translates to "Whale Beach Bath"  :D

Asker is a municipality.

Not a very good day for polacks.  :lol:

QuotePolice said the accident happened after he found a cartridge from a bolt gun and began hitting it with a stone. The shot went off and the man was hit in the mouth.

If that translation is right, I think the Polish gene pool just improved slightly.

If you just set off a bullet by banging on it, would the bullet shoot out and kill someone if the explosion isn't actually contained in a gun?

The metal cartridge funnels the explosion in one direction on its own...

I dunno, I would suspect that the cartridge would go flying - the bullet, not so much, as it is heavier.

Just so you know - "cartridge" and "cartridge case" are used interchangably in colloquial English.

Though if you want to sound like a dumb Swede ...  :P
